Episode 129: God of Destruction -2-
It’s like a small palace.
This was my impression after seeing the Indian embassy.
A beautiful building towered over us, seemingly a replica of the Taj Mahal.
Baek So-rin and Janet also kept expressing their admiration.
“The building is really pretty!”
“pretty……”
“I heard the original is prettier? I want to go see it sometime!”
“Are you talking about Tajkhali?”
“yes!”
In the original world, it’s Taj Mahal. In this world, it’s Taj Khali.
Ss …
A flying car passed overhead.
Unlike ground cars that line up in a line, flying cars have free passes.
Baek So-rin pouted.
“We should have come riding the Red Cougar too!”
“That’s a two-seater.”
“That’s right. Why did you get a sports car, teacher? You should have gotten something like an SUV or a sedan.”
“ha ha ha.”
I just shrugged my shoulders.
Because sports cars are my style.
Even now, I’m driving an SUV to bring both Baek So-rin and Janet, otherwise I would have brought a red cougar.
Still, should I get a flying sedan?
If you bring Kali, there will be times when the four of you will move around together.
“Can you show me the invitation?”
“Here it is.”
I extended an invitation.
The embassy guard was very businesslike when we first greeted each other.
He checked my invitation and glared.
He sees my name several times, looks at my face, and then is very surprised.
“Are you the silent sword master?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What a rude person! I didn’t recognize you because you came in an ordinary car. The Ambassador is waiting for you. Please come in quickly.”
The guards made a quick gesture.
A man who appears to be the leader announces to In-Ear that I have arrived.
Then the inside suddenly became very dirty.
Enough to know even if you don’t have the Sensitive or Perked Up Ears trait equipped.
I drove slowly inside.
I headed towards the parking lot naturally, but before that, the butler of the village came out first and bowed to me.
“Are you the silent swordsman? I have been waiting for you. I am Sahil, the butler of Ambassador Kurat. Please leave the car to me.”
Fluent Korean.
Baek So-rin, Janet, and I all got out of the car.
The butler stepped aside slightly, and a middle-aged man approached me with his family.
“Nice to meet you. I am Asim Kurat, the Indian Ambassador to Korea.”
When you receive guests, don’t you usually greet them inside the mansion?
The man was not a superman.
However, his sharp eyes and sturdy body gave off an unusual vibe.
I also responded politely.
“I am a level 5 superhuman, Kim Jeon-sa. Thank you for inviting me.”
“Haha. Aren’t you the superhuman who has been breaking the upper limit these days? You are also an honorary knight of the Thor Cult and Gaia Cult. I can’t tell you how honored I am that you have graced this place. You are even more handsome in person.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
“This is my wife and my daughter.”
“Hello? This is Warrior Kim.”
“You too, are a person of honor. I heard that you are receiving the attention of all the transcendent beings. Now that I see you in person, I understand why. Haha, I regret not sending my daughter off to get married when she was 10 years older.”
“mom!”
“Carly. You need to behave.”
“Chet. Hello? I’m Kali Kurat.”
Finally, Carly.
I pretended not to care and just stared at Carly.
His father is an Indian ambassador. His mother is a Korean diplomat.
Although still a young girl, Carly will become a superhuman with a deadly sword in the future.
‘How do you flirt?’
In the game, he realizes the need for force due to the effects of the Seoul terrorist attack and enters the superhuman world.
You can’t recreate the same situation.
If you get caught like that, you’ll see everything.
‘Let’s think about it.’
For now, just connecting the strings is enough.
“Nice to meet you both.”

“Come on in, come on in. Isn’t this Shinmyeolje? Shinmyeolje! We have a lavish spread of traditional Indian cuisine, Indian-Korean fusion cuisine, and traditional Korean cuisine! I’m sure even Mukho Sword Lord will like it.”
“thank you.”
The inside was already bustling.
A large number of guests were gathered in groups of three or four, chatting.
No, it was too noisy to be called a conversation.
It was because of the people gathered on one side, singing at the top of their lungs and pouring alcohol down their throats.
“Hey, hey, let’s row the boat♪”
“Let’s go to the cliff beyond the horizon♪”
“If you eat the Kraken and chase away the Serpent♪”
“We will arrive at Vinland, the promised land♪”
Norse warriors.
He wore the insignia of the Order of Thor on his chest.
I couldn’t help but smile as I remembered Sigmund and Hjordis whom I had met in the labyrinthine city of Aachen.
But that seems to have stimulated the Norse warriors.
Among them, a particularly large and fierce warrior narrowed his eyes and approached with an angry expression on his face.
“What are you? Who the hell are you laughing at? Huh?”
A voice that roars like a lion.
Carly flinched in surprise.
“Oh, that’s a surprise.”
“Hmm. Sir Harald? Excuse me, but you are my guest. And you are also a member of the Thor Cult… … .”
“Be quiet! The Norse do things the Norse way!”
The warrior turned his face towards me.
The actions are threatening, but surprisingly, the eyes are smiling.
Especially the magical power waves that spread throughout the body.
I was used to it.
It was magic power honed through none other than Sigurd’s training method.
“Drink!”
A glass of alcohol that is almost offered with a strong demand.
Anyway, I can’t figure out what these Norse warriors are thinking.
It’s a glass as big as my head.
But now that I’m equipped with the power of a giant, a diamond body, and immortality, drinking this much isn’t difficult.
“Wow!”
The warrior let out a gasp as he drank it all down in one gulp without spilling a single drop.
“As expected, he is my brother! A man among men! A warrior among warriors! A Nord among Nords!”
“… …Brothers?”
A line that gives a puzzled look at a ridiculous statement.
The Norse warrior spoke with a grin.
“Oh. He’s my brother. Can’t you see it? Can’t you feel it?”
“I have no idea.”
“That’s why I’m telling you to awaken some kind of superpower. If you have money, it’ll be easy to get to level 1! Since you don’t have a sense of magical power, it’s impossible to talk. Talk.”
“Oh my, what the heck.”
It seems like the two have known each other for a long time.
The Indian ambassador shook his head with a look of disgust on his face.
Carly’s face brightened too.
“Did you know each other?”
“I see. I guess he’s related to Sigmund.”
“Of course! And why are you saying such sad things? We are of the same blood! Brothers!”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Do brothers really talk to each other so sadly?”
“Okay, feel free to talk.”
“You should have done that a long time ago!”
We’re not even related by blood, but we’re brothers?
Perhaps because they come from a harsh Northern European background, they seem to regard each other as blood relatives and brothers even though their academic lineage is passed down.
Baek So-rin and Janet were dumbfounded when they first saw the Norse warrior.
It makes sense, since he approached me as if he was picking a fight, offered me a drink, and danced as if he liked it.
It is difficult to understand with Korean sensibilities.
“Drink! Drink!”
“Hey, Kim! Why didn’t you come to Korea to visit the branch? I waited for you!”
“I made 99-degree honey wine!”
“Is that alcohol? It’s a lump of alcohol!”
“Just apply magic! Magic!”
“You wicked man! You borrowed the power of evil magic from the sacred mead!”
“So you’re not going to drink?”
The feast was hosted by the Shiva cult, but the drinking party was hosted by the Thor cult.
The Norse warriors tried to drag me into a drinking party, but a helping hand came.
“It’s Cha Do-jun!”
I also now know the faces of famous celebrities.
He appeared wearing the Shiva Cult Knight’s insignia on his chest.
“Sorry, bro. My disciples are huge fans of Cha Do-jun. Can I leave for a moment?”
“Huh? Of course! Huh, Korean women don’t know. What do they like about such a shabby parasite brother?”
“You’re handsome.”
“Ha! In our hometown, there are people like that… … .”
“Shut up, you little shit!”
“This is Korea! Not Norway!”
A serious international religious incident almost occurred.
The Norse warriors were terrified and dragged the warrior away.
Thanks to that, I was able to get out of my seat and head towards Cha Do-jun.
It felt like ten years of suffering.
Instead of getting to know Carly, I almost got caught up in it all day, maybe for two nights and three days.
“Hello! I’m a fan!”
“Ji, it’s really Cha Do-jun… … .”
“Haha. Nice to meet you.”
At first, Cha Do-jun responds appropriately.
He had a businesslike smile on his face, but then he looked at me and his face hardened.
what?
What’s on my face?
He looked at my right cheek, the wound, and the two Guardians’ League badges and the Paladin’s badge on my chest as if he couldn’t believe it, and his pupils slowly, very slowly, dilated.
Finally, eyes are fixed on my waist.
The eyes were fixed on the black tiger-carved Mukho sword.
“Surely you are not the Mukho Sword Master?”
“People call me that these days.”
“Hey, it’s an honor! I’m a fan!”
yes?
Are you a fan?
What is this?
Cha Do-jun put his hands in his pockets with a very excited look on his face.
What he took out from there was a large sketchbook.
No one thought it was strange that a sketchbook as big as one’s torso came out of a small pocket.
If you’re like Cha Do-jun, you should have pockets for expanding space.
“If you don’t mind, could you please give me your autograph?”
“Wow… … .”
Baek So-rin and Janet opened their mouths.
The eyes that looked back and forth between me and Cha Do-jun were filled with surprise.
I’m surprised too, you guys.
I accepted the marker pen that Cha Do-jun offered me, but my mind felt empty.
“I don’t know if I can do this for you.”
“I am honored! Aren’t you the most famous superhuman of the present times? You are also the future transcendental leader and commander of the legion!”
“I have no relationship with you, Commander.”
“Yes. I heard the official announcement too.”
A face of disbelief.
Even I wouldn’t believe it.
Because there’s such strong evidence hanging on your back.
After a quick taste, I signed the sketchbook and returned it to him.
Baek So-rin and Janet rushed in without missing the opportunity.
“Please sign for us too!”
“Three, a selfie too… … .”
“It’s a selfie too!”
“Um… …Who are you?”
“I am your teacher’s disciple!”
Baek So-rin proudly puffed out her chest.
When I nodded, Cha Do-jun smiled brightly.
“You are the disciple of the Mukho Sword Master? I would be truly honored! I will sign your autograph right away. Should we take a selfie too?”
Baek So-rin and Janet clung to Cha Do-jun, squealing.
My head was spinning.
I stepped back and moved to a quiet place.
Still, it seemed like there would be no quiet time.
Even though I was hiding in a corner, people kept coming to me.
“Hello. I am Park Cheol-jin, the director of Yongwang Trading Company. I am an honorary knight of the Gaia Order by fate. It is an honor to meet you. I cannot express how much strength I have as the honorary knight of the Gaia Order. Here is my business card… … .”
“Nice to meet you. I am Choi So-jeong, the commander of the Western Army Brigade. It’s good that you’ve established ties with the Osiris Cult. I’ve been curious about you for a long time. I wonder what kind of person you are that the squeamish Tiger Corps Commander acknowledges you. When you have time, how about a duel?”
“I am Jeong Ji-hye, who studied at the Glacier Tower. She is currently an honorary knight of the Mamaquila Order. I heard about what happened in the Great Labyrinth. I heard that you spread the cure for the stigmata of the Demon God, or rather, the method of overcoming them. If you ever come to the Great Rift, please come find me. I will definitely guide you.”
Most people are like this.
At least four major powers.
Even there, only people of a certain status would talk to me.
It seems like only yesterday that I was wandering the back alleys and polluted areas, but my rise in status was so steep.
I greeted and talked to countless people.
Also, we exchanged contact information.
For me, who is not very social and hates hanging out with people, it was truly hard work.
Did you come for nothing?
It’s fortunate that we brought Baek So-rin and Janet.
After taking a selfie with Cha Do-jun, I stayed next to Carly.
There were hardly any girls of this age in the banquet hall.
Naturally, the three of them got along well and became quite friendly.
“You’re both superhumans? Really?”
“That’s right!”
“Not even level 1, but level 4, level 3?”
“huh!”
“You are truly amazing.”
“That’s amazing. Our teacher is truly amazing.”
“If I hadn’t met you, teacher, I might have died.”
“Hey, no way.”
“It’s true.”
Yeah. I only trust you guys.
I waited for my chance and barely managed to get away.
I went out into the garden and hid in a quiet place.
Even using the stealth feature in earnest.
Only after I got there could I free myself from the hordes of maggots.
“Ugh, I’m dying.”
It would be easier to fight an army of a million men.
It would be much better to cut it for 3 nights and 4 days straight.
I just lay down in the garden.
It was a clear day, but there weren’t any stars at night.
Overly developed magic science and the resulting environmental pollution have made it impossible to see a single star in Seoul even on a clear day.
The moon is only shining dimly.
After a while of looking at the moon.
There was a rustling sound of bushes moving apart.
And the feeling of presence.
Someone suddenly stuck their face in there.
“Found it.”
A face full of freckles.
A woman in her late 20s, wearing a black and gold breastplate.
It’s an ordinary appearance that you can see anywhere.
The magical power wave that is gently emitted is level 5.
“hello?”
The woman looked down at me and smiled.
“My name is Choi Joo-hee, an honorary knight of the old father’s sect.”
Honorary Knight Choi Joo-hee.
The moment I heard the name, a chill ran down my spine.
I know who it is.
There is no one in this world who knows, but me.
The name Choi Joo-hee is fake.
The real name has already been dedicated to God and has disappeared.
In fact, its true identity is… … .
Choi Joo-hee laughed.
She smiled beautifully like a crescent moon.
“Is this your second time seeing it in person?”
It seems like he had no intention of hiding it in the first place.
I hardened my face and looked at Choi Joo-hee, no, at the saint.
